Do Nigerian girls really appreciate flowers as gifts?
At least from what Hollywood tells us, white (oyinbo) women love flowers, it makes them feel special and loved. Red roses are their favourites alongside several other plant species that we Africans use in our soups. Now let's bring this trend closer home, do black (Nigerian) women love and cherish flowers too?

I'm not referring to the plastic flowers Nigerian brides cling to on their wedding day- I'm talking about flowers from real plants ***vegetable***

On Valentine’s day in many Nigerian cities, we do see a semblance of flowery gifts exchanging hands here and there but here's an observation-you dare not give a Nigerian woman flowers without an accompanying gift with more value.
This is the only time a Nigerian woman 'may' appreciate flowers; but try send her flowers 'pere' and you are totally on your own.

Ironically, even in Hollywood narratives Black women are hardly ever portrayed as the romantic flower loving type; they are sort of portrayed same materialistic way an urban African woman would be represented.


So, which is it, do Nigerian/African/Black women appreciate flowers or not?

What do you think?

Girls? Flowers? In this part of the world? Only a microscopic few!

Nice observation Lews Therin Telamon. WoT remains my best fantasy series.

A little while ago, a guy walked into my garden to order a flower bouquet. We always try to know why and who the flowers are meant for in order to advice on colour and style. The young man said the flowers were for his wife. Not her birthday. Not their anniversary. But just to show that "he appreciates her". So do Nigerian ladies appreciate flowers? Hell yeah!

Lol......i pray o!
When shawarma dey exist??

the only flower the accept are flowers like ewedu leaf,vegetable leaf,bitter leaf,water leaf



in short only edible flowers

I think few appreciate it. Ma guy once gave his girlfriend flower as a birthday gift and she accepted right in front of us. I think that one has to do with the understanding they both have cause the same didn't go well for my neighbour. The babe said it loud "hope that thing that looks like flower is not for me?". Bobo begin explain.

Either artificial or natural flowers,we dont appreciate them as a gift
